| Sometimes there are good shots lurking in not so good shots. How do I know? I take a ton of bad shots. Most of you never get to see them or hear the process behind what I decide to post on this site. I'll break that rule for this image and give you the way I came up with the shot. First, I was out looking for something to capture an image of when I came across this fence post and barbed wire. In real life, the post is leaning about thirty to forty degrees to the right. In other words, it is falling down. I grabbed a quick shot but upon review, I didn't really like it as much as I would have hope. So I changed the angle of the post in my viewfinder so the the post was straight up and the ground was slanted. This made for an interesting image whereas the original thought I used to compose the image was rather bland. I see Chris Westcott and Michael Rawluk do this all of the time. They change their angles to make their images infinitely more interesting. I hardly ever do this because I am trying to record the scene exactly as I see it. I have to admit though, a little change in the way you compose and process an image really can re-kindle your photography flame. |
